What's included

1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
1-2 hours per week. In order to grow as musicians, it's vital that students practice at least three times a week, if not every day. A weekly lesson usually ends in assigning a short list of tasks for the week. Those tasks usually include: -practicing scales -practicing material from a method book -technical exercises -listening assignments In all, the assignment list should take about thirty minutes on its own (but more practice is always encouraged!)

Class Experience

In this course, students will improve their trombone technique with live guidance and performance of proper technique; they can perform for and observe their classmates, which improves their own playing technique and their musical ear!

Topics that will be covered include:

-proper breathing
-embouchure (mouth shape)
-articulation (use of the tongue)
-good tone
-slide positions
-playing basic songs
-identifying rhythms and notes
-playing more difficult music

This course works as a kind of study group; each week, students bring in music that they're working on, and we go over it together. In the meantime, other students are able to practice as they wait to meet with me, and they can ask questions through the chat function. Occasionally, we may take time to talk all together about universal topics. This structure enables learners to work at their own pace, and also to inspire and be inspired by their classmates!

Learning Goals

Students will learn proficiency on their instrument, and can also prepare for auditions, such as those for All-State Band programs, if they choose to do so. In addition to the technical aspects of playing their instrument, students will also learn about the fundamental concepts of Western music and its interpretations, such as rhythm and pitch, timbre, structure, and historic influences.

Other Details
